Suggestions

The Adamello-Brenta Natural Park is the vastest protected area in Trentino, and includes the Brenta Dolomites and the Adamello-Presanella mountain groups, separated from the Val Rendena and spread over the Val di Sole, the Val di Non and the Val Giudicarie. This remarkable extension of protected terrain, the high altitudes and the diverse geology of the mountain complex guarantee an extraordinary range of environments and species of flora and fauna.

Safety information

The trail is well marked and signposted with the Red and White SAT signs, with the number of the path written in black. The exposed stretches of pathway are well protected with safety cord (reinforcing equipment is not necessary).

  • Choose a route which is suitable and in line with your preparation.
  • Leave information of your itinerary and approximate return time.
  • Pay attention to the signs and indications found on the way.
  • Do not hesitate to return if necessary.
  • In case of accident or emergency, call 118.
